I like the idea of Reverse Engineering API's and creating bots/scripts for Browser games. However, I am a beginner in the Computer Science field. I recently started my Computer Science Degree and would like to know what modules should I look out for that typically covers this sort of thing.
We have a course in second year labelled - 'Full Stack Developing' would that be something I should take?
This depends on the implementation of the game in the browser.
The API is likely a RESTful API and the format for data exchange is likely JSON.
A modern full stack web development course will often cover both of these subjects.
In terms of reverse engineering the API itself, there's not a huge challenge. Restful APIs and JSON are chosen because they're easy to use and easy to integrate.
